The Internet has dramatically altered our lives over the past few
decades. Although some of these changes have been negative, the overall effect
of this technology has been positive. What are your opinions on
this?
The Internet has brought significant changes to our lives in recent years.
However, there remains some disagreement as to whether the overall effect of
this technology has been positive or negative. While there are certainly valid
arguments to the contrary, I personally believe that the benefits of the
Internet far outweigh its drawbacks and these benefits are twofold.
First of all, it is an indisputable fact that the Internet has
revolutionized the way we communicate. Despite the risk of social isolation-a
problem occasionally seen in people who spend too much time at their computer
terminal rather than relating to people in the real world-most of us have
benefited greatly from e-mails and Internet chat programs like MSN Messenger.
These incredibly useful and powerful tools of communication facilitate both
contact with loved ones in faraway places and global trade.
Moreover, the Internet has placed the entire world (and all of the
information in it) at our fingertips. In earlier times, conducting research
entailed long hours searching library shelves. Now, however, the same
information can be accessed at the click of a button. Admittedly, not all of the
information available on the Internet is reliable or helpful-there is a vast
amount of material online that some would consider offensive or dangerous,
ranging from pornography to instructions on how to make bombs. Nonetheless, I
would contend that this free flow of information has generally been a very
positive development.
By way of conclusion, I once again reaffirm my position that the Internet
has had a positive impact on modern life because of its influences on
communication and the flow of information.
